When I write, I write my feelings down, either on paper, or a screen. I let myself spill, so that nothing bad is inside of me anymore. My characters, they reflect on me, I make them me, how I look, and act, and think... Isn't that the point? To put yourself in any world you want? Words are an amazing thing, they can take you to places you wouldn't even dream of. You can put yourself in a warrior's armor, fighting off the evil undead. Or, you can be a deer, graceful and agile. Writing, stories, words.... they have endless uses. Do anything you want with them. There isn't anything you can't do with them.
